Comfort, Scenic Beauty, and True South Texas Hospitality

If you enjoy wide-open skies and unforgettable sunsets, Dead Man’s Pass Ranch offers one of the most breathtaking backdrops in all of Texas. Del Rio was rated the best place in Texas to experience the grandeur of a sunrise or sunset by the U.S. Business Report—and once you see the view from our lodge, you’ll understand why. Nestled in the heart of South Texas brush country, our lodge overlooks miles of rugged landscape that glows with color as the day begins and ends.

But it’s not just the view that makes our lodge special—it’s the experience. Designed with both comfort and authenticity in mind, our South Texas hunting lodge combines rustic charm with modern convenience. Spacious and welcoming, it can accommodate up to 10 guests, making it perfect for hunting parties, corporate groups, or weekend getaways with family and friends.

Inside, you’ll find a relaxed, ranch-style atmosphere complete with comfortable bedding, clean private and shared spaces, and all the amenities needed to unwind after a day in the field. Whether you’re swapping stories around the fire pit, enjoying a hearty meal, or simply stepping outside to watch the stars, the lodge is your basecamp for both adventure and relaxation.

Whether you’re here for the thrill of the hunt or the peace and quiet of nature, our lodge provides an experience that’s as unforgettable as the land that surrounds it.
